This is how a Mercadona omelette is prepared.
The process begins when the potatoes arrive at the production plant, where they undergo quality analysis in a laboratory. They pass through a washing tunnel to remove any excess soil, and once cleaned, the potatoes are peeled and washed again to remove the starch. At this step, operators carefully inspect the potatoes and remove any defects.

Once the potatoes are cut, they undergo another quality control before being sent to the fryers, and once fried, they are topped with onions, if desired, and eggs. The mixture goes through a resting phase so that the ingredients are well impregnated. After that, they are spread out in non-stick frying pans to give them the right shape and are cooked for several minutes on each side.
The secret to keeping your omelette juicy is the cold shot that is applied after cooking. This step stops the cooking and ensures that the omelette retains its juicy texture.
